		<description>Merry Christmas.

Just a thought at this festive time of year -

Having seen the news that Zavvi is going into administration Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling must be very pleased with themselves.

MFI, DFS, Woolworths, Zavvi, Whittards, The Officers Club to name but a few - they&#039;ve all benefiited from Superman&#039;s efforts to save the world.

The 2.5% reduction in VAT has been just the ticket for these retailers.  This must be the thin end of the wedge and but a small taste of the increasing success of the Brown rescue package.

They really must swallow their pride and think again before it&#039;s too late.</description>

		<description>Merry Christmas to you and your family, and thanks for an excellent blog.

(If you are wondering, I have been banished to my cubby hole so this missus can wrap my presents)</description>
